BACKGROUND

1. Field of the Disclosure

This invention relates in general to wellhead systems, and in particular, to a fluid line exit block seal arrangement of a wellhead system.

2. Description of Prior Art

For many surface and subsea oil and gas wells, hydrocarbon production devices, such as a series of pipes, fittings, valves, and gauges, are used on a wellhead as part of a wellhead assembly to control the flow of fluids into the well. One, or a plurality of, penetrators or stems are typically installed in the hydrocarbon production device to allow downhole fluid lines, such as hydraulic control lines or fluid injection lines, to be routed through a sidewall of the hydrocarbon production device and down to a location below the wellhead. Wellhead assemblies are required to have an increasing number of downhole control lines and chemical injection lines.

SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE

Methods and systems of embodiments of the current disclosure can provide multiple fluid lines passing into a pressure containing portion of the wellhead assembly. Embodiments of the current disclosure provide control line exit blocks for mounting to a hydrocarbon production device that is suitable for high temperature and high pressure applications, such as for temperatures up to 350° F. and pressures up to 15,000 psi. Dual metal to metal seals prevent pressure and fluids from escaping from the pressure containing portion and into the atmosphere between the control line exit block and hydrocarbon production device. The integrity of the dual metal to metal seals can be verified before installation of the control line exit block is completed.

In an embodiment of the systems and methods of the present disclosure, a termination block assembly for fluidly coupling a fluid line at a hydrocarbon production device includes a fluid line block with an inner surface selectively mated to a corresponding surface of the hydrocarbon production device. The fluid line block has a protruding member extending from the inner surface. A primary seal is located at an end of the protruding member, the primary seal having an inner diameter selectively circumscribing the fluid line extending from the hydrocarbon production device, and an outer diameter selectively engaging a sidewall passage surface of the hydrocarbon production device and sealing between the fluid line block and the hydrocarbon production device. A secondary seal circumscribes the protruding member, engaging both the inner surface of the fluid line block and the corresponding surface of the hydrocarbon production device and sealing between the fluid line block and the hydrocarbon production device.

In an alternate embodiment of the systems and methods of the present disclosure, a termination block assembly for fluidly coupling a fluid line at a hydrocarbon production device includes a fluid line block with an inner surface selectively mated to a corresponding surface of the hydrocarbon production device, the fluid line block having a protruding member extending from the inner surface. A flexible seal is located at an end of the protruding member. The flexible seal has an inner diameter selectively circumscribing the fluid line extending from the hydrocarbon production device, and an outer diameter selectively engaging an sidewall passage surface of the hydrocarbon production device and forming a first metal to metal seal between the fluid line block and the hydrocarbon production device. A metal seal ring circumscribes the protruding member. The metal seal ring has a base and a leg that extends radially outward from the base and selectively engages both the inner surface of the fluid line block and the corresponding surface of the hydrocarbon production device, forming a second metal to metal seal between the fluid line block and the hydrocarbon production device.

In another alternate embodiment of the systems and methods of the present disclosure, a termination block assembly for fluidly coupling a fluid line at a hydrocarbon production device includes a fluid line block with an inner surface selectively mated to a corresponding surface of the hydrocarbon production device. The fluid line block has a protruding member extending from the inner surface. A primary seal is located at an end of the protruding member. The primary seal has an inner diameter selectively circumscribing the fluid line extending from the hydrocarbon production device, and an outer diameter selectively engaging a sidewall passage surface of the hydrocarbon production device and sealing between the fluid line block and the hydrocarbon production device. A secondary seal circumscribes the protruding member, engaging both the inner surface of the fluid line block and the corresponding surface of the hydrocarbon production device and sealing between the fluid line block and the hydrocarbon production device. The primary seal and the secondary seal define an annular cavity between the fluid line block and the hydrocarbon production device. A test port is in fluid communication with the annular cavity for monitoring pressure within the annular cavity.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE DISCLOSURE

The methods and systems of the present disclosure will now be described more fully hereinafter with reference to the accompanying drawings in which embodiments are shown. The methods and systems of the present disclosure may be in many different forms and should not be construed as limited to the illustrated embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey its scope to those skilled in the art. Like numbers refer to like elements throughout.

It is to be further understood that the scope of the present disclosure is not limited to the exact details of construction, operation, exact materials, or embodiments shown and described, as modifications and equivalents will be apparent to one skilled in the art. In the drawings and specification, there have been disclosed illustrative embodiments and, although specific terms are employed, they are used in a generic and descriptive sense only and not for the purpose of limitation.

Referring to FIG. 1, hydrocarbon production device 10 is shown, as an example, as a wellhead assembly. Hydrocarbon production device 10 could alternately be part of a Christmas tree or other choke, valve, adapter, or tubular assembly associated with a hydrocarbon well, that is subject to internal pressure. Termination block assemblies 12 are mounted to hydrocarbon production device 10. In embodiments of this disclosure, there can be one or more termination block assemblies 12, and as an example, there can be eight termination block assemblies 12, spaced radially around the outer diameter of hydrocarbon production device 10 at a generally similar axial location along hydrocarbon production device 10.

FIG. 3 is a section view of a portion of hydrocarbon production device 10 that does not show the central axis of hydrocarbon production device 10; but instead is a section view of fluid line 14 as it passes through sidewall passage 15 of hydrocarbon production device 10 and into termination block assembly 12. Fluid line 14 can be a control line, such as a hydraulic control line, a chemical injection line, or another type of fluid conduit used to convey fluids or communicate pressure through a sidewall of hydrocarbon production device 10. Fluid line 14 extends through the sidewall of hydrocarbon production device 10 by way of sidewall passage 15, from pressure containing portion 16 of hydrocarbon production device 10 to an outside surface of hydrocarbon production device 10.

In certain embodiments of this disclosure, fluid line 14 extends into a pressurized annulus between tubular members located within the wellbore. In alternate embodiments of this disclosure, fluid line 14 extends into the pressurized main central bore of the hydrocarbon well, which is a non-annular space. In the example of FIG. 2, fluid line 14 extends into an annular space between hanger 18 and concentric tubular member 20 that is located radially inward from hanger 18. After passing out of a lower end of hanger 18, fluid line 14 can extend within the annular space between the outer wellhead member 22 and the tubular member 20. In certain embodiments, portions of fluid line 14 could be defined by passages formed within a sidewall of hanger 18. Tubular member 20 could be, for example, production tubing, casing, or unfinished pipe. Outer wellhead member 22 could be, for example, a multibowl wellhead.

Looking at FIGS. 1-14, termination block assembly 12 includes fluid line block 28. In the non-limiting illustrated examples, fluid line block 28 is a generally square or rectangular block shaped member formed of metal. Fluid line block 28 has inner surface 30 that mates with corresponding surface 32 of hydrocarbon production device 10. Fluid line block 28 can be secured to hydrocarbon production device 10 with threaded members 34 or with other known fasteners. Fluid line block 28 has protruding member 36 that extends from inner surface 30. Protruding member 36 can be formed as an integral part of fluid line block 28 and has a cylindrical outer surface and block inner bore 38. Block inner bore 38 extends from an end of protruding member 36 to a junction with fluid passage 42, which is made up of a number of linear fluid passage segments 42 a-42 d, as will be further described below (FIGS. 6, 10, 14).

Termination block assembly 12 includes inlet port 40. Inlet port 40 is located at an outer surface of fluid line block 28, which as illustrated is on an opposite side of inner surface 30. Inlet port 40 can be used for injecting fluids, such as pressurized media for a control system or chemicals for injection into the hydrocarbon well. Inlet port connector 41 can be located in inlet port 40 to mate with the fluid delivery system used to provide the fluid to inlet port 40 and to seal inlet port 40 when no fluids are being supplied to inlet port 40. Inlet port connector 41 can be selected to withstand high pressure and high temperature, such as a temperature of up to 350° F. and a pressure of up to 15,000 psi. In embodiments of this disclosure, fluid line block 28 can have one inlet port 40 (FIGS. 6, 13), and in alternate embodiments, fluid line block 28 can have more than one inlet port 40, such as, for example, three inlet ports 40 (FIG. 9).

Fluid passage 42 is located within fluid line block 28 for allowing fluid communication between inlet port 40 and fluid line 14. Fluid passage 42 extends from block inner bore 38 to inlet port 40. When fluid line block 28 is secured to hydrocarbon production device 10, fluids can flow through inlet port 40, through fluid passage 42 to block inner bore 38, and pass into fluid line 14. Fluid passage 42 is made up of a number of linear fluid passage segments 42 a-42 d that intersect each other, where 42 a is the fluid passage segment that is adjacent to inlet port 40 and the fluid passage segments are lettered consecutively from inlet port 40 to block inner bore 38.

In addition to inlet port 40, termination block assembly 12 can have second port 44 that provides a potential flow path from outside of fluid line block 28 to fluid line 14 and provides additional access to fluid passage 42. Second bore connector 46 can be located in second port 44 to seal second port 44 so that fluids from within fluid line block 28 cannot escape through second port 44 to the outside environment. Second bore connector 46 can be threaded into second port 44 and can be selected to withstand high pressure and high temperature, such as a temperature of up to 350° F. and a pressure of up to 15,000 psi. In embodiments of this disclosure, second port 44 is located on a surface opposite protruding member 36 (FIGS. 3-6). In alternate embodiments, second port 44 is located on a different face of fluid line block 28 than protruding member 36 at an end of a portion of fluid passage 42 (FIGS. 9, 13). In embodiments of this disclosure, fluid line block has one second port 44 (FIGS. 3-6, 11-13). In alternate embodiments fluid line block has more than one second port 44, such as, for example, three second ports 44 (FIGS. 7-9).

Termination block assembly 12 includes needle valve assembly 48. Needle valve assembly 48 can affect the flow of fluids through fluid passage 42. Needle valve assembly 48 includes needle valve body 50 with a needle portion 52 and an external needle valve portion 53. Needle portion 52 moves axially along a segment of fluid passage 42 and has needle end 54 that mates with needle seat 56 formed within such segment of fluid passage 42. Needle seat 56 is defined by a change in inner diameter of fluid passage 42. Needle end 54 extends across fluid passage 42 at needle seat 56 to create a seal and prevent the flow of fluids past needle end 54. Needle seat 56 can be located proximate to a junction of fluid passage segments 42 a-42 d to prevent fluids from moving from one fluid passage segment 42 a-42 d to the next fluid passage segment 42 a-42 d. External needle valve portion 53 extends outside of fluid line block 28 and can be used to adjust the position of needle portion 52. In certain embodiments of this disclosure, fluid line block 28 has one needle valve assembly 48 (FIG. 6) and in other embodiments, fluid line block 28 has more than one needle valve assembly 48, such as, for example six needle valve assemblies 48 (FIGS. 7, 9-10) or two needle valve assemblies (FIGS. 11, 13-14).

Termination block assembly 12 further includes primary seal 58. Primary seal 58 is located at the end of protruding member 36 and can be formed as an integral part of fluid line block 28. Primary seal 58 is a tubular shaped flexible end portion of protruding member 36. Primary seal 58 has outer diameter 62 that engages a sidewall passage surface of sidewall passage 15 of hydrocarbon production device 10, forming a metal to metal seal between fluid line block 28 and hydrocarbon production device 10. The inner diameter block inner bore 38 can be successively smaller away from the outer end of protruding member 36 so that the largest diameter of block inner bore 38 is at the open outer end of block inner bore 38. The wall thickness of primary seal 58 tapers so that it is smaller at the outer open end of block inner bore 38. The wall thickness of primary seal 58 deceases towards the outer open end of block inner bore 38 due to the increasing inner diameter of block inner bore 38. In addition, the shape of outer diameter 62 and of block inner bore 38 of primary seal 58 may be frusto-conical so that the wall thickness of primary seal 58 decreases towards the outer open end of block inner bore 38. When fluid line block 28 is secured to hydrocarbon production device 10, block inner bore 38 circumscribes a portion of fluid line 14, which extends from hydrocarbon production device 10.

Primary seal 58 is biased to be urged radially inward when fluid line block 28 is secured to hydrocarbon production device 10 so that primary seal 58 applies a radially outward force on sidewall passage 15. For example, the inner diameter of the sidewall passage surface of sidewall passage 15 can be smaller than the relaxed diameter of outer diameter 62 so that when primary seal 58 is located within sidewall passage 15, primary seal 58 will be forced to flex inward to fit within sidewall passage 15. This biases primary seal 58 so that it applies a radially outward force along the inner diameter of the sidewall passage surface of sidewall passage 15, creating a seal between outer diameter 62 of primary seal 58 and the inner diameter of the sidewall passage surface of sidewall passage 15. In this way, a first metal to metal seal is formed between fluid line block 28 and hydrocarbon production device 10 with primary seal 58.

Termination block assembly 12 additionally includes secondary seal 64. Secondary seal 64 is a generally ring shaped member that circumscribes protruding member 36. Secondary seal 64 can be a metal seal ring with base 66 and leg 68 that extends radially outward from base 66. Leg 68 extends in a direction generally normal to base 66 in a direction opposite to protruding member 36. Leg 68 is located within, and in a relaxed state protrudes from, radial recess 69 on inner surface 30. One side of leg 68 engages inner surface 30 and the opposite side of leg 68 can engage corresponding surface 32 when fluid line block 28 is secured to hydrocarbon production device 10, forming a metal to metal seal between fluid line block 28 and hydrocarbon production device 10. Base 66 of secondary seal 64 is located within annular cavity 70. Primary seal 58 and secondary seal 64 define annular cavity 70 between fluid line block 28 and hydrocarbon production device 10. Annular cavity 70 is also defined in part by block annular groove 72 located on inner surface 30 and in part by apparatus annular groove 74 located on corresponding surface 32. The surface of base 66 from which leg 68 extends engages an inner diameter of annular cavity 70. The surface of base 66 on one side of leg 68 engages an inner diameter of block annular groove 72 and the surface of base 66 on an opposite side of leg 68 engages an inner diameter of apparatus annular groove 74.

Termination block assembly 12 has a test port 76. Test port 76 is located at a surface of termination block assembly 12. Test passage 78 extends from test port 76 to block annular groove 72, providing a fluid path from test port 76 to annular cavity 70. A test port fitting 77 is located within test port 76 to seal test port 76 when test port 76 is not in use.

In an example of operation, to terminate fluid line 14 at hydrocarbon production device 10, fluid line 14 can be fed out of pressure containing portion 16 of hydrocarbon production device 10 through sidewall passage 15 to corresponding surface 32 at an outside of hydrocarbon production device 10. Anchor fitting 80 can be fitted over fluid line 14 to retain fluid line 14 in position relative to the hydrocarbon production device 10. Anchor fitting 80 is non-pressure containing Anchor fitting 80 has an outer diameter that engages an inner diameter of sidewall passage 15 and an inner diameter that engages fluid line 14 so that fluid line 14 does not move radially inward along the axis of sidewall passage 15.

Secondary seal 64 is placed over protruding member 36 so that secondary seal 64 circumscribes protruding member 36 and is spaced radially outward from protruding member 36. As discussed above, a portion of base 66 of secondary seal 64 is located within block annular groove 72 so that leg 68 sits partially within radial recess 69 on inner surface 30. The outer end of fluid line 14 can then be fed into the open outer end of protruding member 36 and along block inner bore 38 so that block inner bore 38 circumscribes fluid line 14. In an example of operation, as fluid line 14 is being fed through block inner bore 38, fluid line block 28 will be moved towards hydrocarbon production device 10 and primary seal 58 inserted into sidewall passage 15. The elasticity of the material used for forming primary seal 58 allows it to flex inward to fit within sidewall passage 15, creating a first metal to metal seal between outer diameter 62 of primary seal 58 and the inner surface of sidewall passage 15, thereby sealing between fluid line block 28 and hydrocarbon production device 10.

Moving fluid line block 28 towards hydrocarbon production device 10 mates inner surface 30 of fluid line block 28 with corresponding surface 32 of hydrocarbon production device 10. Rotating threaded fasteners 34 secures fluid line block 28 to hydrocarbon production device 10. Mating inner surface 30 with corresponding surface 32, engages leg 68 of secondary seal 64 with both inner surface 30 of fluid line block 28 and corresponding surface 32 of hydrocarbon production device 10. Mating surfaces 30, 32 energizes secondary seal 64 to form a second metal to metal seal between fluid line block 28 and hydrocarbon production device 10. In the illustrated examples the axial height of leg 68 is greater than the axial height of radial recess 69, thus leg 68 will deform when energized to fill the radial length of radial recess 69.

The integrity of primary and secondary seals 58, 64 can be tested by way of test port 76. As a pressure media is injected through test port 76 and into test passage 78, pressure media will enter annular cavity 70 and be in fluid communication with both primary seal 58 and secondary seal 64. In an example of operation, the pressure of pressure media is monitored, monitoring can take place in the test passage 78, cavity 70, test port 76, or a combination of these. Detecting a decrease in pressure of pressure media can indicate that either primary or secondary seal 58, 64 is leaking If pressure media escapes around secondary seal 64, it can be supposed that secondary seal 64 is leaking If no pressure media escapes around secondary seal 64, and the pressure of the pressure media is decreasing, secondary seal 58 may be leaking.

Looking at FIGS. 3-6, a fluid line connector 82 can be secured to the end of fluid line 14 and second port connector 46 can be installed in second port 44. During use of fluid line 14, control fluids, injection fluids, or other fluids used in conjunction with hydrocarbon production device 10 can be injected through inlet port 40. Needle valve assembly 48 can be used to provide pressure integrity by adjusting access of the fluids to fluid passage 42. In the embodiment of FIG. 6, needle end 54 can move axially along fluid passage segment 42 b. When needle end 54 is mated with needle seat 56, fluid will not be able to travel along fluid passage segment 42 b. When needle end 54 is spaced apart from needle seat 56, fluid can travel from inlet port 40, through fluid passage segment 42 a then through fluid passage segment 42 b, and into block inner bore 38. From block inner bore 38, fluid can enter fluid line 14 and into pressure containing portion 16 of hydrocarbon production device 10.

Turning to FIGS. 7-10, termination block assembly 12 has six needle valve assemblies 48′. Three needle valve assemblies 48 a′ can block fluid from traveling along fluid passage segment 42 a′ and three needle valve assemblies 48 b′ can block fluid from traveling along fluid passage segment 42 c′. When needle end 54 of each of the needle valve assemblies 48′ is spaced apart from needle seat 56, fluid can travel from one of three inlet ports 40, through one of three corresponding fluid passage segments 42 a′ and fluid passage segments 42 b′, into a single fluid passage segment 42 c′ and then into single block inner bore 38. From block inner bore 38, fluid can enter fluid line 14 and into pressure containing portion 16 of hydrocarbon production device 10.

Turning to FIGS. 11-14, termination block assembly 12 has two needle valve assemblies 48″. Needle valve assembly 48 a″ can block fluid from traveling along fluid passage segment 42 a″ and needle valve assembly 48 b″ can block fluid from traveling along fluid passage segment 42 c″. When needle end 54 of each of the needle valve assemblies 48″ is spaced apart from needle seat 56, fluid can travel from inlet port 40, through fluid passage segment 42 a″, fluid passage segment 42 b″, and fluid passage segment 42 c″ and then into block inner bore 38. From block inner bore 38, fluid can enter fluid line 14 and into pressure containing portion 16 of hydrocarbon production device 10.

Returning again to FIGS. 2-14, in each of the embodiments of the current disclosure, primary seal 58 and secondary seal 64 prevent pressure and fluids from pressure containing portion 16 of hydrocarbon production device 10 from being discharged to the environment. Primary seal 58 and secondary seal 64 are redundant seals, both sealing between fluid line block 28 and hydrocarbon production device 10, and providing dual metal to metal sealing capabilities suitable for high pressure and high temperature applications.
